not only if russia invades ukraine, but also if russia disrupts the may 25th senator election. senator ayotte, you have introduced legislation to impose those sanctions not later, but right now. >> they need to be imposed now, chris. the bottom line is if we wait until the elections, it will be too late at that point. we already see the playbook of what happened in crimea happening in eastern ukraine, and it's time to impose tougher sectoral sanctions to provide support for the ukrainian military, and if -- at this point russia is not getting the message, they're violating the so-called geneva agreement, and you have russian agents in ukraine fomating unrest and causing all the violence and really creating a situation right now that warrants tougher sanctions by this administration. >> briefly, congressman schiff, have the obama sanctions up to this point been too weak? >> well, look, i think we're going to ultimately need stronger sanctions. the challenge is not getting the administration to go along with the stronger sanctions. the challenge has been getting our european alli

there does have to be an off ramp for russia to deescalate this. i don't think we choose to get in a war with the russians. we have to bolster nato. that is something they talked about, too. we have to find a way to achieve a pluralist noncorrupt government in ukraine and we have to support trade, i think so. >> so what is the off ramp? >> well, putin personally, certainly the information everybody seems to have is that there is no advantage to russia in having an all out war in ukraine. our leverage is our economy against him. we're strong. he's a gas station as john mccain said with a lot of corrupt people surrounding him. if we are going to avoid the sanctions we can avoid a worse outcome. we have to bolster nato. we have some troops on the ground. europe has to be in that game as much as we can. they can't outsource nato to the united states. >> george? >> we're at war now. the fact is two helicopters get shot down. putin says that ukraine's use of its own army to enforce order in its own territory is a criminal act? he clearly has decided that

our relationship with russia over to union crane, turn it into lemonade. it pushed them to the west. for example, the -- they worked out with the borj georgeans and two pipelines to get their oil and gas to the west without having to go through russia and why did they do that? because they were reacting to the president. >> in case of ukraine, we have to take steps immediately to begin to say we will sell u.s. natural gas to europe, and we will extradite the creations necessary to do that. this week we had an important bit of little news which was that some of the central european countries are making agreements with the ukraine for reverse flow. that is to say to be able to sell gas from central and western europe to ukraine or to relieve them of some of the buying russian gas, but there needs to be a strategic framework that says what are we going to do to take advantage of this moment that we didn't want, but that was given to us. ukraine has been lost to the russians for a generation. the question is are we going to act thoughtfully enough, sensibly en

euphemism for the gangsters who are doing russia's work. he says, no. we want ukraine not to conduct military operations within ukraine against these people. now it was said two weeks ago by the supreme court kpland ecomma nato that is a military operation. so i guess the stakes are now looking ahead to may 25th when there is supposed to be a presidential election in ukraine. it's clearly putin's objective to stop this, i think. >> amy, there's been a lot of criticism of president obama's handling of the crisis in ukraine. but aside from hawks, people like john mccain or lindsey gram, you don't get a lot of push up on capitol hill from republicans about the u.s. getting more deeply involved in ukraine. >> right, especially when it comes to military intervention. we have the very war weary country that doesn't know what to do about this. it's taken a toll on the president as well. you see his approval rating overall has gone down. his handling of issues on foreign policy continues to dwindle as well. so there is a sense that i think from the
